Vogue Magazine travel recommendation: visit Merida!

According to Vogue Magazine web site, Mérida, Mexico, is a must visit destination full of charm and that looks like a city that hasn’t changed in a century: The old buildings and slow pace of life seem to signal that your plane took a wrong turn and you landed back in 1900.

Much like San Miguel de Allende to the west, the historic Mexican city is achingly charming; but unlike San Miguel de Allende, it hasn’t made it to the top of every must-visit list (and that’s a good thing).

First-timers will surely enjoy the pretty squares and the unhurried people who fill them.

They’ll be astounded by the centuries-old mansions that line the many streets.

They’ll wonder: How does a place like this still exist? But scratch below Mérida’s historic charm and you’ll find a thriving city with a decidedly current culinary scene.
